Has been pretty vindicating that the people on Twitter we used to argue with about COVID actually got their chance to run things and they each turned out to be every bit the incompetent fuckwit that we knew they’d be

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

i have some questions re: that device
I am just now catching up on the fact that the FDA was demanding Uniqure do sham brain surgeries (from what I can tell, comprising simulated burr holes and 10-12 hours of anesthesia) in their placebo arm for their Huntington's therapeutic, and I'm absolutely floored that this was a serious demand.
Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo
do not drive out to the valley, either. or even eagle river. many flipped or ditched cars on the glenn.
go to costco. go get dinner. go to tikahtnu if there’s any shopping you want to do.
did people take off their snow tires early??
I'd also like to nominate "SPECS OFFENDERS". Thank you, I yield my time.
leaving to spend more time with his measles, I assume
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
this whole thing is incredibly insulting to everyone's intelligence, but i'll say, from experience, that if you get a tattoo which might have even the slightest hint of a hidden meaning, every rando who thinks they know anything about tattoos is going to mention something to you about it
something's very definitely going on at fox news HQ

i keep looking for an octopus-free sushi restaurant when traveling & haven’t found one in sf or berkeley
Is there a healthy fascination with Hitler?
Nintendo also probably has better health care policy; Dr Mario believes in germ theory
actually can't quite get over what a poor choice mullin is for this role, in basically every way, and not just for us — for the administration, too.
i’m gen x and this would have been a laughably low % of self reported lgbtq+ people even in the early 90s when hiv stigma was widespread
RFK does not seem to understand that not only should the Massachusetts flag be changed to pink and orange, but that Bostonians have a tradition of standing up for their right to drink the caffeinated beverage of their choice without government interference.
He's right of course. Employer-linked benefits aren't natural law but a WWII wage-control workaround we never bothered to fix. It's also why Americans are afraid to start businesses or leave bad jobs. We've chained risk-taking to a paycheck.
“now i can make things shitty without moving around!”

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.
A very severe blizzard in Kaktovik, Alaska. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Two human-sized figures in colorful traditional Hinamatsuri doll wear--but they both have dinosaur heads and hands.

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane
Sam Altman just said he has tweaked his deal with the Pentagon and wrote a list of things he says are part of it, and he chose to include this really great line:
"One thing I think I did wrong: we shouldn't have rushed to get this out on Friday."
this can mean that your time on the active list is weeks/months, rather than years
also, it’s time to remind alaskans that they or their family can go on the -inactive waitlist- for pioneer homes as soon as they turn 60
if you later need to move there, you move to the active list but you keep your seniority from the inactive list

fyi: mini grants to help quality of life for alaskans with alzheimer’s
if you’re familiar w the mental health trust mini grants, same idea & process
i’ve used the mh trust grants for uncovered dental/vision, ramps, repairs, etc.
